The most important point here is that if they had made the low pass in a Boeing the accident would not have happened. Boeing lets the pilots control the aircraft at all times, not this stupuid engineer deciding that an aircraft below 50 feet must be landing nonsense.

The software ensured that the aircraft did not stall and that it crashed...
any Boeing (or airbus for that matter) wouldn't have the slightest problem roaring away at 4000 fpm or better with a spool-up that's plenty responsive and effective.
OOOkay, I am confused. You are saying that he should have been able to spool the engines up faster?
The next time you are in a sim push the thrust levers from idle to the stops and hit the timer. (At ground idle in the Boeing, flight idle clean in a bus) Let me know how much time elapses before the thrust matches the command.
So what's the deal? I maintain if he was at Vref, and he asked for (and recieved) MCT or TOGA thrust, the airplane would have happily flown away without the slightest problem. Either his airspeed was grossly low, or the airplane's "protective" software screwed up.
